Handbook of the new sexuality studies

the long version

"Breaking new ground, both substantively and stylistically, the 'Handbook of the new sexuality studies' offers students, academics and researchers an accessible, engaging introduction and overview of this emerging field. The central premise of the volume is to explore the social character of sexuality, the role of social differences such as race or nationality in creating sexual variation, and the ways sex is entangled in relations of power and inequality. Through this novel approach the field of sexuality is therefore considered, for the first time, in multicultural, global, and comparative terms and from a truly social perspective"--provided by publisher.
